Abstract
A superconducting article includes a substrate; first and second buffer layers overlying the substrate, such that the substrate is positioned so as to be interposed between the first and second buffer layers, first and second superconductor layers overlying the first and second buffer layers. Further, the first and second stabilizer layers respectively overlying the first and second superconductor layers, the first and second stabilizer layers adapted to conduct current and prevent burnout of the first and second superconductor layers when the first and second superconductor layers are in a non-superconductive state.
Claims20
A superconducting article, comprising:
- first and second substrates bonded to each other and free of superconductor layers therebetween;
- first and second buffer layers overlying the first and second substrates respectively, such that the first and second substrates are positioned so as to be interposed between the first and second buffer layers;
- first and second superconductor layers overlying the first and second buffer layers, respectively, the first buffer layer between the first substrate and the first superconductor layer and the second buffer layer between the second substrate and the second superconductor layer;
- and
- first and second stabilizer layers respectively overlying the first and second superconductor layers, the first and second stabilizer layers adapted to conduct current and prevent burnout of the first and second superconductor layers when the first and second superconductor layers are in a non-superconductive state, wherein the first and second stabilizer layers form a convex contour along at least a portion of the side surfaces of the superconducting article.
